Pros
Free downtown parking. Benefits are average, but declining (benefits are gradually being taken away).
Cons
State Auto no longer wants to promote employees who have been loyal to the company and have a proven history of learning. It does not value its employees anymore at all. Too much red tape and PM bureaucracy. The atmosphere has changed to one where everyone is only looking out for himself, instead of the teamwork/family atmosphere that once existed. Money is not spent wisely. Bonuses and raises are given inequitably. There is now elitism in the current management circle. The atmosphere is depressing, and most people are looking for other jobs. The company is trying to do more with less and working people to death in some areas. IT areas are starting to be outsourced. The IT areas that remain are led by managers who are not knowledgeable enough about their areas of responsibility, and they make poor decisions.
